Summary

AI generated

Moss Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful, serene location next to the river, friendly camp hosts, and clean facilities. Many campers enjoyed the spacious sites and the peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for relaxation and outdoor activities. However, some noted the lack of potable water, limited parking at certain sites, and occasional noise from nearby roads, but these did not significantly detract from their overall positive experience.

Great, small camping site with lots of tree coverage. Our spot was near the stream but the vault toilet was out of commission which was factored into our site choice when we purchased. Regardless, would absolutely stay here again

We were in the lower loop… fyi, the vaulted bathroom in that section is roped off and closed. You have to walk up to the upper loop or drive to the other bathrooms.
Things to do: The Ice Caves we’re amazing and fun!

Loved this campground. I pulled in and was initially very disappointed because the sites were so close together with no privacy. We were about to leave but I stopped by the host and he showed me to a site that was very big and very private. Site 11, probably the only private spot, it was great and could easily setup 3 tents there. It was a bit loud at night on one of the nights, however we stayed 5 days and by the time we left, we were the only people there. I'll definitely be returning.
